Adventist HealthCare's Rx for Success

Story by Adventist HealthCare

Adventist HealthCare is proud to announce a new Pharmacy Technician Training Program – a triple-win initiative that helps alleviate a national shortage of pharmacy techs, empowers professional development and builds a strong pipeline of candidates to meet the needs of Adventist HealthCare patients and providers.

The six-week program is designed to hire and train retail pharmacy technicians to expand their skills in order to work with a broader range of medicines, compound sterile and IV medications, assist with medical history documentation, participate in clinical rounds, and collaborate with the healthcare team. The pharmacy techs are then positioned to strengthen patient care and also help optimize health outcomes after patients return to their homes.

The program recently earned accreditation from the National Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB), which enables participants to apply for national credentialing. Additionally, the techs can continue their professional development through a three-level career ladder, which includes opportunities for medication specialization.
